Candy Charcuterie Board
| | Candy Charcuterie Board |
Instructions
Step#1:
- Choose a tray or board. Mine was 18” by 12”.
Step #2:
- Look for fun, colorful containers and scoops. Party City is a great place to start.
Step #3:
- For retro and vintage candy, I included: Necco Wafers, candy necklaces, Sugar Daddy’s, candy cigarettes, Pixy Stix and Beemans, Clove and Blackjack gum.
Step #4:
- For regional treats, I included Mexican Del La Rosa Marzipan candy and a taco made of gummy candies.
Step #5:
- For novelties, I added Sponge Bob Square Pants gummy hamburgers, cotton candy and tins of mint “Impowermints”, “Enlightenmints” and “14th Ammendmints”!
Step #6:
- Add a lot of fan favorites: Bubble gum, M&M’s, hard candies, old fashioned candy stick, Licorice and Boston Baked Beans.
Step #7:
- Look for treats that give back. Ace Hardware sells chocolate bars that help raise money for Children’s Hospitals around the country.
Step #8:
- Incorporating mini boxes of fresh popped popcorn helps balance out the sweet with salty!
Step #9:
- Find sweets and treats with a theme. For instance, for the Big Game day, include chocolate footballs and mini toothpick pennants.
